" ... I had a wild hair one day and money to burn. ... "
" ... Gillete 5 blade razors for men are good, but this one is incredible, you won't get any cut no matter where you use it and it is really durable. ... "
" ... Any Venus blade will fit this razor FYI - which is awesome. ... "
" ... I’ve used multiple Venus razors, but really like the weight of this handle. ... "
" ... I have to use high quality razors and maintain aseptic technique (Eg: Change blades frequently, use different blades for body versus bikini region) as my skin is prone to ingrown hairs and razor burn. ... Even when I'm "speed shaving" in the early morning, I rarely slice my skin up with this blade. ... "
" ... Great to use, could be better, it misses a lot of hairs. ... "
" ... Pretty heavy / solid razor and comes with two heads! ... "
" ... I have always used Venus razors but holding this one was so much easier & heavier! ... "

" ... The first time I used it though it slipped from the shelf and fell and the shower floor and the little connector thing that holds on the head broke. ... "
" ... The razors don’t stay attached to the handle. ... Well I have new razors and they don’t stay stretched to the handle either. ... "
" ... The handle is very nice so it is such a bummer that they couldn't make the head stick on better. ... "
" ... once this razor gets wet it is very difficult to hold. ... "
" ... Razors fall off. ... "
" ... My only issue is holding onto it. ... "
" ... Absolutely did not like this shaver in any way, found it difficult to hold, blades were dull and scratchy, could not use those, and the set is pricey. ... "
" ... My only complaint is that the handle is also a bit wider than its plastic counterpart, and it does not fit in the razor holder on my shower caddy like that one did. ... "
